Last year’s Happy Death Day was hit with genre fans bringing in $100 million at box offices with a $4.8 million budget, so it’s no surprise that there’s a sequel in the works.
Star Jessica Rothe has hinted that there may be a Back to the Future style feel to the sequel.

The sequel, the way he described it to me, elevates the movie from being a horror movie – and I wouldn’t even say it’s just a horror movie because it’s a horror, comedy, rom-com drama – into a Back to the Future type of genre film where the sequel joins us right from where we left off, it explains a lot of things in the first one that didn’t get explained, and it elevates everything,” Rothe told Collider. “I was really pleased to know that we weren’t just gonna be pushing all the buttons that people loved the first time, over and over again, ‘cause I think that gets old. I’m really excited to see if it comes to fruition and, if it does, what the final product looks like. I hope we get to do it! I had a ball!

 

 
While the sequel has not been officially announced, Geek Vibes Nation noticed that the sequel is listed in this week’s Production Weekly roundup and shared the news via Twitter saying, “It looks like the sequel to #HappyDeathDay will begin filming May 14 in New Orleans.”
Christopher Landon will return to both write and direct the film whose working title is Foe Paw. Jason Blum will be producing.
In Happy Death Day, college student Tree Gelbman (Rothe) must relive her murder over and over in a loop that will not end until she solves her own murder.
